GMAT Compass

Erfun helped me over the span of 3 weeks on GMAT preparation. With his help, I was able to improve my score 90 points to 700+ (compared to the most recent official exam which was three weeks prior). I began my GMAT preparation through a self-study course, but Erfun was able to help with the key test taking strategies that allowed me to better apply the knowledge I had learned throughout my studies. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling with a plateau or needs to expedite their study plan. He provides a customized program that focuses on weaknesses and allows for more efficient learning. Thanks for the help, Erfun!

Erfun helped me get my score from 540 to a 690 over 4 months. I ended up getting into Stern and graduated back in 2015. Im now making 7 figures. I owe a lot of it to Erfun helping me get over the first hurdle. The GMAT Compass program was well-organized, incremental, and tailored to my areas for improvement. Highly recommend to anyone liking to improve their GMAT score.

Dont waste your precious study time looking for a tutor. Working with Erfun is a no brainer. His credentials (amazing scores, tons of experience, wrote a book, etc.) speak for themselves, but the proof is really in the pudding. He know the exam inside-out and has this crazy ability of getting into your head. He was able to dissect biases in my thinking that were hurting me on DS and CR and to get past obstacles I was barely even aware of. I uiltimately scored a 730. Thanks, Erfun.

Erfun was referred by a former colleague who attended Kellog. I worked with Erfun for 8 weeks after scoring a 590 on my most recent exam at the time. I had scored a 710 6 years prior but had to retake the test as the score was now expired. It was challenging to get back into studying mode being 6 years out of undergrad and having a challenging work schedule. I had used the Princeton Review course but just wasn't getting beyond 650 on practice exams and was falling short on time as the b-school application deadlines were coming up. Erfun was amazing to work with. He takes a rigorous approach to putting together a tailored study plan focused on your weak areas and provides thoughtful guidance on when to schedule your next exam. In between sessions I always had content to go through and never felt lost on what to do next. During our sessions, Erfun would provide invaluable insight into approaching questions in a methodical manner that would not only save a ton of time, but also enable you to solve harder and harder questions. As the weeks went on I was making huge strides scoring in the low 700's on practice exams. However, I was having difficulties performing on the real exam. This is where Erfun's help truly made the difference. He helped me combat the testing anxiety by giving me tips on test day rituals, section ordering, break management, and just overall positive reinforcement. All the work we had done on the technical side and the approach to the exam ultimately came together, resulting in a 780 score! While Erfun's quant lessons were top notch, I want to particularly highlight his incredible verbal lessons. As a non-native English speaker from Western Europe, I struggled most with verbal before working with Erfun. Through dedicated reading comprehension and sentence correction sessions I was able to score a perfect 51 verbal score on my final test. I would recommend Erfun's services to anyone who is looking to either break the 700 range or further differentiate their b-school application through a 99th percentile GMAT score.

I worked with Erfun in 2021 to study for the GMAT. He was a fantastic tutor and helped me achieve a great score that got me into my target schools. His ability to identify your strengths/weaknesses, structure a lesson plan around your abilities, and clearly and succinctly explain the the answers for each question/question type is unparalleled. He not only teaches the underlying theory for each topic (be it quant or verbal), but also drills the importance of learning how to take the test with well-defined strategies for each question type. If I were to have studied by myself, I almost certainly would have overlooked the significance of identifying each question type and being strict in following the same strategy for each. A huge piece for me was having structure within my studying. Studying for the GMAT is daunting, especially with a full-time job, so having a plan was crucial. Erfun helped devise a study plan with quizzes/practice tests and a target for test day. He kept me on track with daily practice from his trove of questions as well as weekly assignments based on the current area of focus. Working with Erfun was definitely a worthwhile investment in my B school journey.
